SUKABUMI - Sukabumi Police gave permission to a prisoner from Sukabumi Regency, West Java who is languishing in a cell at the Sukabumi Police Headquarters to marry the woman he loves on Tuesday, November 2.

"We gave permission to a detainee who is a suspect in a motorcycle theft case, namely Arbi Maulana Sofyan, to marry his girlfriend Dede Mariawati on humanitarian grounds," Sukabumi Police Head of Detainees and Evidence (Tahti) Iptu Dudung told reporters in Sukabumi, as reported by Antara.

The suspect in the motorcycle theft case, who was recently arrested by the Sukabumi Police Criminal Investigation Unit, held his wedding in the Sukabumi District Police Headquarters' Tahti Room, which was led by the Sukabumi Regency Religious Affairs Office (KUA).

Monitoring at the location, Arbi and his partner could not hide their sadness during the reading of the marriage agreement, which was guided by the headmaster and witnessed directly by the Head of Tahti Iptu Dudung and their guardians from both sides of the couple.

The tears of Arbi and her lover were unstoppable, when the marriage agreement was declared valid by the headmaster and witnesses. Even though it is simple and in very limited conditions because the groom is a prisoner or suspect, it does not reduce the solemnity of the wedding procession.

The Sukabumi Police also gave some time for the couple to pledge their allegiance and after the entire consent procession was complete, Arbi had to return to the Sukabumi Police Headquarters cell to carry out his sentence while awaiting trial.

The bride could only cry, because she had to go back to parting with the man who had just married her. In this marriage process, the Sukabumi Police only allowed the guardians of each bride's family to comply with the health protocol rules.

"Before the wedding, the families of both parties had previously asked for permission and based on various considerations and humanity, the Sukabumi Police gave permission, of course there were conditions that must be complied with," he added.

Dudung said that in this wedding procession his party continued to apply strict health protocols and after the entire procession was declared complete, the suspect was returned to the detention cell to account for his crime of committing the crime of motorcycle theft.
